Coffee and Numbers is a private, self-hosted accounting and invoicing plugin that lives inside your WordPress admin dashboard. It’s built for freelancers, creatives and small businesses (photographers, designers, consultants, tradespeople, writers and more) who want clarity on their finances without thinking like an accountant.
Your financial data stays in your own WordPress database. Nobody else holds it.
Core features (free):
- Invoices — unlimited invoices with a PDF for each, showing your logo, business details, bank details and payment terms. Email them to clients straight from WordPress, mark them paid with the date they were paid, and see what’s outstanding at a glance
- Other currencies — invoice or quote a client in GBP, USD, EUR, AUD, CAD or ZAR, and record the home-currency equivalent and exchange rate you used, so your totals stay in your own currency
- Quotes and estimates — unlimited, each with a PDF in the same layout as your invoices, numbered separately so they never affect your invoice numbers. Quotes never count towards income, VAT or profit
- Expense tracking — categorise receipts by type, note whether a receipt is held, track VAT on each expense
- Mileage log — log business journeys with automatic claim calculation at the correct rate for your country
- Recurring expenses — set up regular costs once (rent, broadband, software) and they log themselves automatically every month
- Working from home — claim the work share of your home bills by the rooms you use, or your country’s flat rate where there is one (HMRC’s simplified expenses, the IRS simplified method, the ATO fixed rate), and compare the two
- Profit dashboard — live income, expenses, mileage and net profit for the current tax year
- VAT/tax summary — quarterly breakdown with the correct box numbers for your country’s filing form
- CSV export — clean accountant-ready spreadsheet covering all income, expenses, mileage and VAT
- Multi-country support — UK (HMRC/VAT), Australia (ATO/GST), South Africa (SARS/VAT), United States (IRS/Schedule C), Canada (CRA/GST/HST)
